24 - **Main objects** panel contains shapes to be rotated. The shapes are selected in 3D OCC viewer or object browser;
25 - **Vector of rotation** defines the axis of rotation. The vector of rotation is an edge, axis selected in 3D OCC viewer or object browser;
26 - **Angular Step** check-box turns on/off definition of the angle by which the object is rotated. By default (if the checkbox is not checked), **Angular Step** = 2 * PI / NbTimes;
